I'd like to modify the Win32 build projects (of mod_jk, and httpd 1.3/2.0/2.1-dev, along with apr);
The /O2 optimization option is extremely agressive, unfortunately it produces less than ideal crash traceback information. That is due to the (implicit) /Oy flag, which omits respecible stack framing. I'd like to change this to /O2 /Oy- to disable this optimization; processing will be unmeasurably slower, but far more useful when crashes do occur. The /O2 optimization also simplifies the stack frame checking for many functions. The /Gs0 option would restore full frame checks, to ensure we don't overflow the stack in the processing of any function. With FirstBill's (wise) choice to reduce the size of our default stack frames within httpd, it seems wise to be extra diligent. However, MS's docs state that /O2 implies /Gs - and I can't determine if that is /Gs0 (implied) or some other behavior. Thoughts from someone with more experience playing in stack probes would be appreciated. All in all - comments? Bill
